Marriage

Pittsfield [Otsego Co. NY]:  We have had a very pleasant time today (Sep. 5th) at the home of William H. Gray, it being the 50th anniversary of his marriage and also the 11th anniversary of the marriage of his daughter, Mrs. Davis McIntyre.  Dinner was served in front of the home in a maple grove, thirty-four in all partaking of the same.  The Rev Allen Hayward and family of West Laurens were among the number. The Elder made a few very feeling and appropriate remarks.  The presents were not very costly, but all were useful and good, amounted to something like $18.  The day was fine and there could not be a more pleasant place for such a gathering and when the party were all seated at the well filled table, Elder Hayward at the head, it was a beautiful sight, and the occasion will long be remembered by all that participated.
